Summary
Abstract The study assessed the effects of varying salinity levels in irrigation water on the growth, inflorescence development, and yield of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). A randomized complete block design (RCBD) was employed, consisting of four treatments with three replications. Pre-transplant soil analysis revealed high nitrogen content across all treatment plots, which declined following saline water irrigation, particularly the final harvest. Phosphorus levels, initially high before transplanting, significantly decreased after the application of saline water and the completion of the production cycle. Similarly, soil potassium content, classified as medium prior to transplanting, dropped to low levels after irrigation and the final harvest. Plant growth and yield responses showed si
